The Same Old Ball Game

Pryvit Blog.
Interrupting the Subculture series is this week's piece from The New York Times' Townies blog, written by Theodore Ross. In it, Ted shares with us some of his thoughts while at his son's little league game in Brooklyn. This is a great emotional read, and possibly my favorite of the series.

Subcultures 05 - Beach Kings
space
Hey Blog, what's up?
The fifth in the Subcultures t-shirt series focuses on bodybuilding. Specifically, on the golden heydays of Venice Beach in the 70's. Pumping Iron is one of my all-time favorite movies (Arnold is the American dream) and I wanted to bring out the fun of that era with a West Coast surf vibe. That time was glorious.

Subcultures 04 - Let's Get Furry

Hi Blog.
The fourth in the Subculture series is about a furries, whose fetish is centered around wearing furry costumes in varying scenarios. That's cool, I'm not gonna hate.

Subcultures 03 - Always Flapping
space
Good day Blog. Irene was a wash, we're all getting on with our lives.
Here's the third in the Subculture series. This is a mashup of 1920's flappers and early 80's punk aesthetic. In truth I always wonder if I'm doing something cheesy or trite and I was concerned, because these are two cultures that have been explored to death. Also, I wanted to avoid a steampunk vibe (just not a fan). I dig the results, family vibe.

Subcultures 02 - Dekotora x Japanese Rockabilly
space
Good morning Blog. Here's the next piece in this Subcultures series. This is a mash up of two Japanese social phenomena: highly elaborate and illuminated Dekotora trucks combined with the Nippon version of Rockabilly. These two things have nothing to do with each other besides their country of origin and their seemingly outlandish methods of self-expression. In terms of composition I wanted this to have a 70's movie poster collage vibe. This is one of my favorite pieces from the series.

Subcultures 01 - Scuttlers x Carnies
space
Oy blog, how's it going? A hurricane is brewing, New York had an earthquake, and Steve Jobs has left the building. I'm beginning to believe the Mayans. Just kidding, no I'm not.
In case you weren't aware I left my art directing gig to pursue other ventures and return to the outside world. It was fun while it lasted, but everyone has their time and mine was up (or to me it was anyway).
Anyway, one of the last things I created while at Dagr was a series of illustrations for a t-shirt line based on the concept of subcultures. Some mash-up and some standalone. I'll be posting them up as I'm very proud of the series itself. The images are meant to be screen printed and are all about 15" tall.
The above piece is a mash-up of scuttlers and carnies, definitely leaning towards a turn-of-the-century dandyish vibe with a freakshow twist. The tattoos on the brothers' bodies are based on Russian convict tattoos. There are a lot of references happening at the same time, and I like how it all came together.
More to come.

Ho there Blog. This is preview of a collaborative mural project at the Art Directors Club with Timothy Goodman, Mikey Burton, Chris Rubino, Elle Kim, Lotta Nieminen, Stefanie Weigler, and Jennifer Daniel. Last weekend we spent the day making a big mess. It was a lot of fun... and kind of humid. More pics soon.

And a special thanks to Leah Romero and Alelli Tanghal for helping us out with some much needed support.

American Illustration 30

Well hello Blog. I was just notified that three of my pieces have been selected to appear in the American Illustration 30 annual. I'm very excited, as this is a 300% improvement over last year. Among the selections are two pieces from Bang Boom Pow (last's year's collab with Andy Lin, Kids With Candy, and models Julia Royter and Elaina Royter), and a piece from You're My Favorite, which makes me very happy as that series is very close to my heart.
Congrats to everyone that won and I'll see you at the party.

Guten Morgan Blog, it's the end of the week. This is a piece I did for The Village Voice in their special comics issue in honor of MOCCA. It concerns String Theory's main proponent and main detractor. Brian Greene is the former, Peter Woit is the latter, and both are professors at Columbia University.
Personally, I believe in the possibility of String Theory and like Brian Green, but I'm Team Michio all the way. Check out The Doctor in action.

Rich Tu x Swarthmore / 03.18.11

Sup Blog. Mark your calendars. I have been invited to speak at Swarthmore College on Friday, March 18th. Lecture begins at 4pm at the Science Center 199. There will also be a demo of my process along with a Q&A.
Also, a HUGE thanks goes out to the utterly brilliant artists who were coerced into making my ugly mug more palatable (organized and designed by illustrator/designer/assistant extraordinaire Robyn Ng), including the world famous Jayson Atienza (YG5).
Robyn Ng, Jayson Atienza, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Karen Demaio, Daniel Fishel, Daniel Hertzberg, Lorraine Nam, Clay Rodery, Zejian Shen, Dadu Shin

Hello Blog, it's my last week of blogging for The New York Times' Townies with author Ted Ross. It has been a great month with great subject matter. I like the catharsis of the final piece as well. Enjoy.

Hi Blog, here's the video of the G-Shock collab for Respect Magazine. I'm really proud of it. Also, it definitely helps to know a world famous Rockette who can do splits with the best in the world.

Rich Tu x G-Shock for RESPECT

Sup Blog, Happy Friday. I'm stoked to finally show you this, which is a collaboration I did with G-Shock for RESPECT Magazine. I got to choose a watch model (in this case the GA110-1A) and create my own rendition of it. I kept it colorful and rugged looking, which are both characteristics I associate with G-Shock. It was a lot of fun, and the photo shoot took place in my studio a few weeks ago. Photography by the amazing Tom Medvedich. Love and shouts to the Kids With Candy family. There is also a video segment coming soon, which has more surprises
Look for this issue of RESPECT now, with Mr. Maybach on the cover.

Good morning Blog. Here's the third installment of The New York Times' Townies blog. This week, the author discusses how his new unemployed status has affected interaction with his children. I like how this piece ends in particular.

Sup blog, how is life. This month I'm teaming up with writer Theodore Ross for The New York Times' Townies blog. There will be four installments and this is the first. The subject covers unemployment and traces Ted's journey as a former literary editor to now. I'm enjoying the read so far.
Ted is releasing his first book, entitled I Am a Jew, next year.
